:lol: yes if you are voting to fast track it so no one can read it. And Trump had nothing to do with TPP failing. That would be all the seats democrats lost to straight ticket voters sick of democrats and their undemocratic tactics regarding shitting all over the white working class electorate (the same ones Hilary insists are deplorable.)

I don't recall Trump claiming... No nevermind, I'm quite sure he did take credit for that even if that's all he did.

Herpa Derpa, they have to vote to fast track, which means they have to vote, which means they get to vote. Senate fast tracking is like a quick execution in the US (does not exist). Just because "fast" is a relative term here doesn't mean its actually quicker than a Trump marriage.

Meh. Whatever. I wasn't terribly fond of what little I knew about it. Glad it's dead and glad dems are a minority. Which is good because now they can better address the needs of their favorite minorities. In fact the democrat party is too white. I demand the party represent the new generation of America and no Elizabeth Warren doesn't count.

YESSSS!!!!!!!
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani pulled out of the secretary of state sweepstakes late last month, President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team said late Friday, as Trump has widened his search to select the nation’s top diplomat in the last week.
No more of that idiot around! At least not as Secretary of State.


Actually, no more of these two idiots around...

I just want effective diplomacy. The AFL-CIO should've been included. If Trump can do better than TPP great, again I'm with Obama on this, I want Trump to succeed. I still want the duopoly to die, but there's no point fucking around with unicorns and fairies when you've only got men to deal with.

I wouldn't count Christie out, that guy is smarter than any other Republican in the party. Giuliani's time had past, he got used, he's done.

You are familiar with the feud that Trump's son-in-law has with Christie?

Those kinds of things actually do matter.

Its why Christie isn't going for something in the administration. Speculation has it he is going for head of the RNC.

Imagine Millennials in their 40's.

Becoming more conservative with age is natural. What type of conservatives do you picture them being?

The "America First" Party has replaced the Republican Party. The Neo-conservative Republican Party is dead. No coming back from where they are.

The America First platform is to use leverage in trade agreements and disengagement from foreign intervention. Those two planks alone obliterate what ever shakey raft Marco thinks he's gonna run on.

Trump's association with those clowns never sat well with me, being the Paulbot I am. I like Mattis because peace through strength is real.

If he brings in Rohrabacher I'd be really impressed.

The pressure from the neo-cons to get that post must be immense.

If Trump wasn't in the election TPP would have been passed.

His AG pick is bothersome. Just, nothing about that I like, could like, would like. I'm hoping to be wrong about that, Ashcroft did some stupid shit but he wasn't that bad. But sucks if your states rights are weed and abortion because I think Jeff Sessions is going to go Alabama on their asses.

Flynn is also not fantastic. I'm hoping he streamlines national security, something we've needed to do and haven't really done in the decade+ since 9/11, but I've a feeling he's going to be cool with continuing the, "Lets just spy on everyone but lets do it better. By better I mean 'More'."

Which doesn't bother me, I'm fairly sure the Obama administration has the results of my colonoscopy. I've never had one that I know of, but I'm sure they have the results. However this is something that tends to bother the tin foilers, partly because they're crazy, but also because they've googled how to make a bomb at some point, either as a joke or not , and that's something that'll get you a little extra special love from the algorithm.
